id say chopping the end off then cut it back and reweld the rear end plate bit back on. and i spose you would have to to shorten the chassis if you shorten the tray to much

Judging by the avatar...an educated guess would indicate that it is a steel tray on a single cab.

Its a single cab and its a steel tray. I wos thinking along the lines of what has been said, maybe not go so far as hooking into the chassis but yeh cut the end off then take bout 300ish mm off the end then re welding it..
